Huddlestock Fintech AS (HUDL) : FY 2021 Pro-forma revenues above target.
10.2.2022 07:30:01 CET | Huddlestock Fintech AS | Annual financial and audit
reports
Stavanger, Norway, 10 February 2022 - Huddlestock Fintech AS, a provider of
innovative technology solutions to the capital markets, treasury and wealth
management industries, today released its Unaudited Financial Report for the
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021.
For the fiscal year 2021, Huddlestock has delivered pro-forma revenues above
target. Pro-forma revenues were NOK 41.5 million, compared to the guidance range
of NOK 38-41 million. Adjusted for non-recurring items, the company delivered a
proforma adjusted EBITDA loss of NOK 4.9 million, in the mid-range of the guided
loss of NOK 3.5-5.5 million.
"In the fourth quarter we saw a significant uptick in client demand for our
technology-first advisory. We are delighted to deliver a fantastic quarter with
a sequential doubling in revenues. Banks and wealth managers continue to invest
in innovation and technology for the future, and we have since the start of 2022
seen continued strong demand for our expert advisors and are pursuing promising
leads across our portfolio of technology solutions. We have also continued to
add a number of talented employees to our group. Starting 2022, we are 40
employees within the group, and are well on our way to build an organisation for
growth, creating sustainable shareholder value," John E. Skajem, CEO Huddlestock
Fintech, said.
Huddlestock's advisory business delivered a strong fourth quarter with revenues
of NOK 13.4 million, more than double revenues in Q3 2021, confirming the
strength of our franchise. The strong momentum within our technology-first
advisory has been driven by repeat multi-year mandates, some of which have been
widened and extended. During the quarter, two new contracts were signed with a
leading Nordic Fintech and a Danish cooperative. A leading Nordic bank extended
and widened our remit, adding more of our expert advisors. Clients are
committing to projects well into 2022 and all our consultants are fully booked
for Q1 2022 and almost all of Q2 2022.
Huddlestock's technology segment delivered revenues of NOK 0.5 million (all
recurring) in the fourth quarter, taking the full year to NOK 2.7 million in
revenues. The reorganisation of our German operations at the end of last year
led to both a change in management and a reassessment of our commercial
portfolio.
"We are now positioning our German subsidiary for growth, preparing to scale and
prioritize profitable contracts. I am happy to report that we have seen a number
of promising client leads emerge across our range of technology solutions since
the beginning of the year," John E. Skajem, CEO Huddlestock Fintech, said.
Huddlestock Fintech's reported revenues for the fourth quarter, in which Visigon
was fully consolidated, was NOK 13.87 million and the EBITDA loss was NOK 0.26
million. The group enjoys a strong balance sheet with 10m own shares held in
treasury.
A presentation will be held at 12.00 CET in Norwegian and at 14.00 in English.
